Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater and AnnaSophia Robb seen for FIRST TIME filming Dr. Death

Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater and AnnaSophia Robb were seen filming their upcoming mini-series Dr Death in New York this week. 

The show covers the real-life case of Texas surgeon Christopher Duntsch who earned the nickname ‘Dr Death’ for his malpractice against patients.

In a tense-looking scene, 27-year-old AnnaSophia could be seen confronting Alec and Christian as they sat at a bar table. 

AnnaSophia could be seen making sure to wear her mask between takes as she interacted with members of the crew outdoors in the chilly winter weather.

Although she wore a sleek pair of pumps for her actual scene she swapped them out for a pair of fleece-lined boots when the cameras were off.

Christian was also spotted in his mask and costume, carrying a cool beverage as he made his way around the mounds of snow lining the streets. 

Over 30 patients were either killed or maimed by ‘Dr. Death’s’ botch jobs and he is now serving life for intentionally injuring Mary Efurd during spinal surgery.

AnnaSophia stars in the mini-series as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart who was on the case that eventually got him convicted in 2017.

Joshua Jackson will be playing ‘Dr. Death,’ whose defense team argued that the harm he caused his patients was unintentional.

Alec and Christian are respectively playing Robert Henderson and Randall Kirby, two other surgeons who blew the whistle on Christopher Duntsch.

It was Robert Henderson who performed the rescue surgery on Mary Efurd after ‘Dr. Death’ botched her 2012 spinal operation.

Meanwhile Randall worked with Christopher once and later ‘went up the chain of command’ and ‘told them he was bad news,’ he told People.

Prosecutors unearthed a 2011 email in which Christopher wrote: ‘I am ready to leave the love and kindness and goodness and patience that I mix with everything else that I am and become a cold blooded killer.’ 

The year after the conviction the story became a Wondery Media podcast called Dr. Death, which is now the basis for the mini-series. 

Although 50 Shades Of Grey heartthrob Jamie Dornan was originally cast in the title role it was announced last October that Joshua would be replacing him. 

Alec’s latest sighting comes not long after his wife ‘Hilaria’ apologized for faking her Spanish heritage in a controversy that came to light at the end of 2020.

Although she goes by ‘Hilaria’ and her CAA bio claimed she was born in Majorca, she is in fact from Boston and had the given name Hillary Hayward-Thomas.

Various interviews show her slipping into a Spanish accent and she once forgot the English word ‘cucumber’ during a televised cooking segment.

As the story gained steam she insisted to the New York Times that the ‘cucumber’ moment was a ‘brain fart’ because she was nervous and unused to TV.

While appearing on the Cat & Nat podcast in New York in April 2020 she said: ‘I moved here when I was 19 to go to NYU,’ and when she was asked: ‘From?’ she replied: ‘From – my family lives in Spain. They live in Majorca.’ 

When the scandal took off she told the New York Times: ‘I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 years old and I have lived here ever since.’

Last Friday she said on Instagram that she was ‘sorry’ about the whole affair and allowed that she ‘should have been more clear.’

However she insisted that she was brought up ‘with two cultures, American and Spanish’ and feels ‘a true sense of belonging to both.’

Hilaria, 37, has been married to Alec, 62, since 2012 and they have five children – Carmen, seven, Rafael, five, Leonardo, four, Romeo, two, and Eduardo, five months.
